Good Morning, Lifelong Learners!

This morning, I am inspired by the words of Henry Ford who once said, anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young. The Center for Lifelong Learning and Cochise College want you to stay young, to explore, discover and grow.

In a matter of days, you will learn of new ways to stay young by exploring our summer class schedule! Yes, it is almost here! Stay tuned and get ready to stay young with us.

Best Regards,
Ana Smith

Virtual Brown Bag Lecture For You TODAY
with David Tannenbaum

The setting for Conrad’s Heart of Darkness, a jungle pulsing with the flow of Africa’s greatest river. Once the Kongo Kingdom, then the Belgian Congo, Zaire, and now The Democratic Republic of the Congo. This vast land of riches and diversity is better known for hardship: Colonization, dictatorship, war, AIDS, Ebola. Yet its people display such great resilience, creativity, and humor, such as joie de vivre. And they make some of the best music and beer in Africa! Grab your lunch and get ready to explore the Congo's history and listen to a firsthand account of its situation today.

We hope you will join us TODAY, Apr 14, from 12 - 1 p.m. for this lecture. Our Brown Bag Lectures are always complimentary! To join this lecture at Noon today, please feel free to click on this link.
